Geoff Rynex:Bojack Horseman, because I can watch each episode a dozen times and still not catch every easter egg.

Sam Eichner:Below Deck, on Bravo. Kidding. Kind of. I have a hard time not answering this question with Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Najib Benouar: The right answer is probably whatever zietgeisty prestige tv show will get you the most mileage out of the next few months of popular culture discourse. But I’m choosing Designated Survivor because I’m a Jack Bauer stan and there’s still no way anyone is convincing me that Kiefer Sutherland isn’t just playing Jack Bauer as the goddamn president. The way it should be.

2. Which actor/actress do you think is poised to break out this fall?

TB: If Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are still spinning comedic gold with Future Man, Hunger Games typecast Josh Hutcherson could be due for a nice Hey, this guy is actually pretty funny! Moment.

HK: Jon Bernthal. Even though he's been around, they've been small or supporting roles. Now he's leading in his own Netflix series. I was a huge fan of his when he played Frank Castle in Daredevil so I'm pumped to watch The Punisherthis fall. This role was made for him... literally. It's his performance that sparked the idea to create the standalone series.

HT: Whoever the little boy playing Young Sheldon is. He was strong in Big Little Lies.

GR: Gary Carr, a complicated pimp on The Deuce. I think he’ll be the breakout star of the show, à la Idris in The Wire.

SE: I imagine Tiffany Haddish will solidify her breakout in Girls Trip by continuing to break out in The Last O.G., if that makes sense.

HT: I don’t know. Let’s say Will & Grace, since they all have savings/careers.

GR: ABC: “Hmm, we’ve got Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., a big-budget show no one seems really attached to that we’ve been dragging along for several seasons despite tepid ratings. I think the smart business move is a spin-off.”

I vote Inhumans as the first to go. They're trying to make Ramsay Bolton play someone other than Ramsay Bolton. Good luck.

SE: Thursday Night Football. It’s not new, but shit’s doomed.

4. Which new show do you think will run the longest?

TB: HBO's The Deuce stars two James Francos, so I think the answer here has to be The Deuce.

HK: The Good Doctor. Seems like ABC is trying to find its Grey's Anatomy successor and who knows...this might be it.

GR: Whatever geriatric-aimed procedural CBS is wheeling out this season.

SE: A recurring nightmare of mine is waking up in 2027 to find that I have no teeth and ABC’s The Good Doctor is still on the air.

NB: Whatever the new Shonda Rhimes show is.

5. Which show, new or returning, will end up becoming the biggest letdown?

TB: I am very scared that this will be Stranger Things 2.

HT: Orville. As record numbers of viewers tune in to learn the gritty true story behind the dog-eat-dog world of microwave popcorn, they’ll be disappointed to find out it’s just about Seth MacFarlane wanking around making Star Trek jokes.

GR: American Vandal, unfortunately. I hope I’m wrong, but it feels like a joke that’ll get old after half an episode, like an Onion article they only ran because they had a great headline.

SE: The Deuce, mostly because the combination of porn, James Franco and David Simon seems too big to fail, and we all know how things ended the last time someone used that phrase.

NB - Yeah, has to be The Deuce, right?

6. Pick a show that will, by the end of its season, be described as a “sleeper hit.”
